The structure of two-phase flow in a large-diameter limited-height gravity leg was investigated in the VK-50 reactor. Phase distribution properties and a physical model of the steam-water mixture flow in the gravity leg were described. On the basis of experimentally derived date a method was proposed for the calculation of volumetric steam content in the leg.
